Description
This route used to be a top-rope climb until Steve Mergenthaler and Todd Morgan bolted it in 2003, and it forces you to wander (thus the name of the route) a bit to reach each bolt.
Reach the start of the climb by 4th-classing your way up to the ledge at the base of The Sword. A belay can be set up below the face with a couple of green and red Camalots.
The section between the 1st and 2nd bolt is PG13, as a fall from here would have you landing on your belayer almost definitely!
Now, climb up past 7 bolts to a crux comfortably placed right above the 6th bolt.
Clear the top of the route and walk back about 5 yards to the trees to build an anchor. (Note: At the time of this entry there are no fixed anchors at the top of this route.)
